context_page_description: Loch Katrine is a freshwater loch and scenic attraction in the Trossachs area of the Scottish Highlands. It is within the historic county and registration county of Perthshire and the district of Stirling. The loch is 13 kilometres long and 1 kilometre wide at the widest point and runs the length of Strath Gartney. It is a popular destination for tourists and day visitors from Glasgow and nearby towns.
  The loch derives its name from the term cateran from the Gaelic ceathairne, a collective word meaning cattle thief or possibly peasantry. Historically this referred to a band of fighting men of a clan; hence the term applied to marauders or cattle-lifters, which Rob Roy MacGregor, a respectable cattle owner was erroneously accused of being.
  It is the fictional setting of Sir Walter Scott's poem The Lady of the Lake and of the subsequent opera by Gioachino Rossini, La donna del lago.
context_section_description: Fly and boat fishing for trout is permitted on the loch from spring to autumn.
  Loch Katrine is also the name of a lake in North Canterbury, New Zealand.
  Loch Katrine is the namesake of The Athole Highlanders' Farewell to Loch Katrine.
  In 1844, William Henry Fox Talbot took an early photograph of the loch, entitled Scenery of Loch Katrine.
